Love

until you give it, you will not see it you quite simply will not oh, you can want it but ‘want’ is a form of ‘take’ and you can never take, to have -- except for anger and money that kind of want you can easily achieve “Give and take” has been a lie to you a practice you accept for a phrase you once heard no. . . you will not. . . ever. . . get this by wanting you want this? you gotta give this this one ain’t no passing by occasion first time you tried, you wanted – fair enough there ain’t no next after that you got the lesson when you kindergarten’d somewhere in your teens no in between. . . here no amount of years can pass no guarantee that if you didn’t pick it up then. . . you will someday listen. . . read well until you stop wanting you will not get, giving you will be without love.
